I have really been messing with the camera a lot to re get used to the different views. I think adjusting the camera as you go is important to the game play. This game is one of the first to let you explore in a 3-d way. I think the camera being able to turn adds a really unique touch to the game.
I have noticed that the game stays true to the original. I think that is immensely important while creating games across platforms, do what got you there. Mario keeps the same characters even though the game play is so different it amazing to see that the story was still the same and the overall objective to stop bowser hadn't changed.
All in all I think Mario is one of the most influential games of our times for many reasons and I think that it revolutionized role playing games.

The reason Mario 64 was such a huge hit is because it takes the old classic Mario games and transforms those into a three dimensional playing space.
I think that the fact that Mario has so many different places to explore really are what makes the game. Not only is the actual game world loaded with a variety of places to go but the actual levels which there are many of have many different challenges to conquer. The similarity in levels is cool to because there is kind of the same tasks to a certain extent in each level. There are the 6 different star challenges on each level. There are clues to each one though and there is always a red coin star and a secret star, then usually a boss of some sort that gives you a star, and on most a race or something similar. Then two to three individual to each level.
I am currently playing the first level which is cool because one is taught the different moves. What really sets this Mario at a whole new level than any role playing game before if is the three dimensional playing space and the different jumps and slides and crouches that are available. The triple jump and double jump which allow you to really get to spaces that are high and thought of as unreachable. Once one masters these jumps slides and crawls it makes the player capable of getting stars and secret places that look impossible if one was not able to use these moves.

Now my second time playing I did not skip throught the levels and use cheat codes, I focused on the first level. What I really enjoyed and brought me back to when I used to play this game is the way that the character moves. Not only does he move at a good pace but there are more technological things that really catch my eye. The way the health works is very unique in the sense that as you are shot or dieing the screen turns red and it shows your life diminishing. I thought this was a great idea and helped the game flourish.
I also really enjoy the controls in the game. The way the croutch button works and loading and switching guns. They goive you a lot of different controls which really enhance the experience of gameplay.

Golden eye is perhaps the best first person shooter game ever made for quite a few reasons. For one there are so many levels and each is so very different.
A big factor to me is the level design of each level. You cover so many different levels over the game and the varying backgrounds of each level are amazing. First you are in a base, then on a boat, and then on a bridge, I mean the list goes on and on. The designers made the game very unique because of the way they designed so many different characters also. There are about 10-20 different characters and about an additional 50 or so that are unique to each level. So not only did they create main characters but they also have many different characters that show up on each level and some are better than others based on the deeper you get through the game.
Another really important factor that makes this game so unique is the number of weapons they created for the game, in the 50s to 100’s and not to mention the fact that I think it may be the first game ever to let you hold two games at once.
The cool thing about the game is after you beat it you can go back and have all these guns unlocked, and the number of cheats for this game is uncountable.
